// ...Inject a React component into a HTML source
Sometimes you want to inject your main component into a HTML source.
<!-- index.html -->
<!doctype html>
<title>Test React App</title>
<!-- This is the section you want to replace -->
<section>Loading</section>
<!-- Where the back-end props are copied -->
<script>window.reactProps = /* props */</script>
// ...
app = express();
// Will render the source of index.html
// ... and replace 'Loading' by the HTML of MyComponent
app.use(renderReact(App, { person : 'Jessie' }, {
inject : {
into : 'index.html',
where : 'Loading',
// where to copy props
props : '/* props */' // will output { "person" : "Jessie" }
}
}));
// ...
Pass props to client
app.use(renderReact(App, (req, res) => {}, { send : false }));
app.use((req, res, next) => {
req.reactedExpress.rendered
});
